Submittal review for contractors

Every submittal, checked against the specs and drawings.

Send us a submittal. We read it line by line against the project manual and the drawing schedules, and send back a full review in 24 hours — everything that matches, and anything that doesn't.

Who it's for

Contractors on both sides of the transmittal.

Same review, two reasons to want it. Whether you're packaging a submittal or receiving one, the question is the same: does this actually match what the documents call for?

General contractors & CMs

Know what you're transmitting

Your PE has forty submittals in review and a spec book they didn't write. We check each one before it goes up, so nothing moves forward on an assumption.

  • Catch mismatches before the architect does
  • Know exactly where a submittal stands against the documents
  • Cut the review time your team spends cross-referencing schedules
  • Have a record of what was checked, on every package
Subcontractors & trade partners

Get it right the first time

Every revise-and-resubmit costs two weeks and puts your procurement behind. Check your own package against the specs and drawings before you send it up.

  • Find the gap before the GC or A/E finds it
  • Avoid resubmittal cycles that push your lead times
  • Confirm your cut sheets meet the performance called for
  • Document equivalency on “or equal” submissions
How it works

Forward it. We read it. You get the review back the next day.

No portal, no rollout, no training anyone on another piece of software. It runs on the workflow you already have.

STEP 01

Send the submittal

Email it, drop it in a shared folder, or connect Procore or ACC. We already have the specs and drawings from onboarding.

STEP 02

We check it against the documents

Every readable attribute compared against the governing spec section and the drawing schedules. A project engineer reviews every review before it goes out.

STEP 03

You get the full picture

What matched, what didn't, and what we couldn't confirm — in 24 hours. What you do with it is your call.

Onboarding: 3–5 business days to build your project workspace — spec sections and schedule data extracted and verified by hand — before your first review.

DEVIATION Color does not match the Finish Schedule
Submitted
SW 7008 Alabaster
Submittal p. 3 — product data
Documents call for
SW 7757 High Reflective White
A-601 Finish Schedule — tag P-3
Optional — notation language, if you want it
“Submitted color SW 7008 differs from Finish Schedule (A-601), which designates P-3 = SW 7757 for Corridor 201. Transmitted as a deviation for A/E determination.”
We draft it. Whether you send it up as a deviation, kick it back to the sub, or accept it is entirely your call — we don't make that decision.
UNKNOWN Sheen not assigned by room

Spec 09 91 23 §2.4.B requires eggshell at corridors and flat at offices. The submittal lists a single sheen with no room assignment, so we can't confirm it from what was provided. Flagged for your reviewer rather than guessed at.

What we check

Specs and schedules, across every division.

Most review tools read the spec book and stop. Half of what governs a submittal lives in the drawing schedules — and that's where the expensive misses happen.

ARCHITECTURAL

Room finish schedule

Paint colors and sheen, flooring, tile, wall base, ceiling type.

ARCHITECTURAL

Door & hardware

Door type, fire rating, and hardware set contents against each opening.

PLUMBING

Fixture schedule

Model numbers, trim, carriers, ADA mounting compliance.

ELECTRICAL

Lighting schedule

Type marks, lamp and driver, mounting, finish, control compatibility.

MECHANICAL

Equipment schedule

CFM, tonnage, external static pressure, MCA and MOCP, efficiency.

ELECTRICAL

Panels & gear

Panel schedules, breaker sizes, AIC ratings against available fault current.

SUBSTITUTIONS

Basis of design

“Or equal” submissions measured against the BOD product and its performance.

SPECIFICATIONS

Division requirements

ASTM, UL and ANSI standards, fire ratings, warranty terms, VOC and LEED documentation.

Scope

What we don't do

You've been sold software that promised to think for you. This isn't that. The limits are in the contract, at the top of every review, and in the first two minutes of any call with us.

We check. You decide. Every approval on your project stays with your project engineer, where it belongs.
  • We don't approve, reject, or certify submittals.
  • We don't perform engineering or design review.
  • We don't contact your architect, engineer, or owner.
  • We don't guess — anything we can't confirm comes back marked UNKNOWN.
  • We don't decide what gets called a deviation. That's your call, on your project.
Questions

What contractors ask before the first call.

The honest answers, so you don't have to schedule a call just to ask.

Who actually sees our drawings and specs?
Your documents go to the reviewer assigned to your account, not into a shared pool or a public model. Nothing is used to train a general-purpose AI, and nothing is shared with your architect, engineer, or owner — we work for you, not them.
Does this replace our project engineer?
No. We hand your PE a finished comparison — what was submitted, what the documents call for, and a severity — so they spend their time deciding what to do about it instead of hunting through schedules to find it. The decision on every submittal stays with your team.
Do we need Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud to use this?
No. Email or a shared folder works fine. If you already run Procore or ACC, the Standard and Portfolio tiers connect directly so nothing changes about how your team already works.
Who actually reviews the report before we get it?
A founder reviews every single report before it's sent — nothing goes out unreviewed, regardless of plan.
What happens if we disagree with a finding?
Tell us and we'll walk the specific finding with you. If we got it wrong, we'll say so and correct it. This is exactly why a person reviews every report — so there's someone to call, not just a dashboard.
Can we cancel if it isn't working for us?
Yes. Month to month, cancel anytime, no long-term contract. Start with a free submittal before you pay for anything at all.
Pricing

Per active project. Monthly reviews included.

One repaint, one wrong hardware set, one unit that doesn't make the scheduled CFM — any of them costs more than a year of this.
